On the Conformational Stability of Globular Proteins

Open access

Abstract

This article describes research into the conformational stability of globular proteins -- specifically the effects of various electrolytes and nonelectrolytes on the thermally induced structural transition in ribonuclease. Optical rotatory methods were used to measure transition parameters including: melting temperature (T m ), the size of the transition (DELTA(alpha)), its breadth, and the specific optical rotation and optical rotary dispersion of the pre- and post-transition compounds. Structural perturbants investigated were neutral salts (with and without ethylene glycol), urea and the guanidinium salts, the tetraalkylammonium ions and the alcohols. Physicochemical instrumental analysis methods used in the study include polarimetry, viscometry, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, short column sedimentation (weight average molecular weights); spectrophotometry and interferometry were used to characterize the bovine pancreatic ribonuclease used for most of the experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
